You said it's fine in 1st and 2nd but hangs to lower longer - right? And fine again in D or OD?? So what's the issue? Maybe a throttle position cable if used is out of whack/adjustment. 2nd issue: Not good of course to engage 4WD at any speed - some require being still - don't know what setup you have but either way this sudden off center steering wheel is dangerous IMO. A brake could stick and make car pull hard but that wheel would ge smoking hot fairly quickly if enough to affect steering. The steering suddenly being off suggest to me a weak front end part (about any to do with controllng position of the wheels) has taken a hit or bent or worn out fast from the trauma. That needs to be addressed asap!

Sound like a mess and possibly needs yet another! Second issue: You don't drive most S-10s in 4WD for longer than exactly needed - they would NORMALLY drive funky and not good for it. It's not differentiated to be an All Wheel Drive - or is this one?? Needing all those front end parts simply means the joints weren't greased! Someones fault. I've seen them last near 200K without troubles but a PITA to grease - every 3 months without regard to miles. Brake smoking - bet is on stuck parking brake cable or other hardware issues.

More: What's with the 4WD? Why are you even using it? I can plow snow in one of these and only need it when nasty. It isn't for use for more than a few seconds when absolutely necessary. If off roading and rock climbing with this thing you are on your own!
